DEMOCRATS were made CO-CHAIRs of every House committee by the "Republicans" who voted for HR4.
Surprise surprise... even "Republican" Chaired committees (like Public Health today) are hearing bills that are mostly from... DEMOCRATS.
This. Is. Voter. Fraud.

: Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Midlothian, wants to ban college programs and courses in LGBTQ studies. Harrison’s HB 2339 says institutions risk losing state funding unless they “comply with the biological reality that there are only two sexes, male and female, and these sexes are not changeable.”
Harrison said his bill is about the role of government, not a social issue.
“The bar should be really high for the state of Texas to take money from one Texan and spend it on something,” he said. “If you want to study LGBTQ studies, fine. But do it with your own money, not on the backs of my constituents.”

Fact: the Texas Government is taking money from hard working Texans and spending it to promote DEI and liberal gender ideology... to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars.
This is a betrayal of Texas voters, and it must end!

Last week, a Democrat Chairman overrode my objection to passing a multi-BILLION dollar appropriation in secret - without any audio or video recording - in clear violation of the House rules.
Now "Republican" Chairman

just did it, and 13 Rs helped him.

Media is too big

Texas should be the number one state in the nation for freedom and liberty.
But instead "Republicans" are growing government at a rate that would make DC democrats blush.

Democrats control the Texas House…
So, surprise surprise, HALF the bills being heard today in three committees (one chaired by a democrat)... are DEMOCRAT bills.
Texans, did you vote for this?

Trump won Texas by 14 points...
But the Biden/Harris agenda is alive and well in the Texas House.

Weeks after the Austin uniparty tried to take me out for exposing DEI, even the liberal media are now admitting I never questioned the credentials of the Water Board Chair.. and it was actually DEMOCRATS who made her cry.
How embarrassing for the officials who put out statements based on a lie.

: Harrison, the Midlothian Republican, questioned Texas Water Development Board officials about the entity’s strategic plan calling for staff to mirror the state’s diversity. Harrison, citing Abbott’s executive order opposing DEI, called the strategy unconstitutional, race-based hiring.
The exchange led Rep. Nicole Collier, D-Fort-Worth, and Rep. Armando Walle, D-Houston, to criticize what they saw as an aggressive line of questioning toward two witnesses who are Black women. One of them, TWD Board Chair L’Oreal Stepney, found herself defending her work and qualifications. She pointed to her two degrees from UT-Austin in civil and aerospace engineering and her decades of experience managing the state’s most “precious resource.”
At one point later in the hearing, Stepney, who was appointed by Abbott, was brought to tears. Collier and Walle brought her tissues.
Though Harrison didn't accuse Stepney of being a DEI hire, the intensity of the exchange crystallized the ongoing political fight around DEI. The state’s top three Republicans — Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dustin Burrows — later publicly came to Stepney’s defense, albeit sidestepping the topic of race or DEI.
In a later interview with the Tribune, Harrison defended his line of questioning as “perfect.” He said he had directed similar questions to other agencies as well to understand how taxpayer dollars were going toward “discriminatory DEI practices.”
